MELEGROS: Monolithic Elephant-Inspired Gripper with Optical Sensors. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
MELEGROS is a monolithic, elephant‐inspired soft gripper integrating 3D‐printed optical sensors within a pneumatically actuated lattice. Simulation‐guided design decouples tactile and proprioceptive sensing. Characterized through grasping tests, MELEGROS can reach, scoop, and grasp, showcasing a paradigm where fully embedded sensing and continuous ...

Design of Experiments‐Based Optimization of Recovered Carbon Black–Reinforced Isobutylene–Isoprene Rubber in Comparison With Conventional Carbon Black Systems

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Optimized potential of rCB via DOE: recovered carbon black from end‐of‐life tires was assessed as a full substitute for conventional carbon black in IIR composites. DOE and response surface methodology optimized rCB loading, plasticizer, and sulfur contents. Hardness showed linear trends, while rupture energy was nonlinear.

Bond‐slip modeling for reinforced concrete beam‐column joints with plain reinforcement bars: Insights from numerical validation

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The previous seismic events indicated the vulnerability of old reinforced concrete (RC) structures against earthquakes due to the absence of seismic detailing and capacity design specifications in such buildings. In this context, beam‐column joints (BCJ) of the existing RC structures built before the 1970s have exhibited poor structural ...

The burden of COVID‐19 in hospitalized people with diabetes mellitus in Brazil: Insights from four years of the pandemic

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), is more severe in people with diabetes mellitus due to immune dysfunction, exacerbated inflammation and increased risk of co‐morbidities and mortality.

The emergence of pathogens on fish in an impacted estuary and the role of non‐native piranhas in a potential bacterial infectious outbreak

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract As many tropical aquatic ecosystems worldwide, the Doce River estuary (DRE, southeastern Brazil) has increasingly faced multiple anthropogenic threats, including deforestation, mining, species introduction and water management. The 2015 collapse of the Fundão iron ore tailings dam severely changed water properties and increased heavy metal ...

Breathing irregularities and postnatal hypoxaemia in an experimental model of essential hypertension

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Neonatal spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) exhibit inherent respiratory dysfunction in early life, including oscillatory breathing patterns and apnoeic events that cause oxygen desaturation and brain hypoxia, in addition to an impaired hypoxic ventilatory response.

Frost Decreases Fruit Production in a Neotropical Savanna: Implications for Frugivorous Bird Abundances

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
Severe frost events seem to be happening on average every 5 years, rather than 7 years, as previously reported in the southern limit of the Cerrado, a Neotropical savanna. We conducted this study in the Cerrado, where severe frost events allowed us to compare fruit production and frugivorous bird abundance before and after the disturbance.

Operando Structural Rearrangement of Self‐Ion‐Implanted Germanium Films Enables High‐Rate Cycling in Lithium‐Ion Batteries

physica status solidi (a), Volume 223, Issue 7, 7 April 2026.
Nanostructured germanium thin‐film negative electrodes are produced by combining PECVD deposition with self‐ion implantation, enabling battery fabrication fully compatible with semiconductor processing workflows and without material removal. The resulting porous structure dynamically rearranges during high‐rate cycling, leading to improved rate ...
